Design Features

High-energy, rare-earth magnets used in magnet track for high acceleration capability

Follows the 2011/65/EU RoHS 2 Directive

The BLMF series linear motors are designed to provide a lower cost and lower profile alternative to conventional linear motor applications. The BLMFS series utilizes steel laminations to produce more force for a given forcer coil length. This makes it ideal for high speed point-to-point motion. The attraction force can also be used as a bearing pre-load.

The forcer assembly contains Hall-effect devices, and a thermal sensor, and is a compact, reinforced ceramic epoxy structure.

Offering high peak forces in its standard configuration, BLMF motors are available with higher-power magnets that can be used to increase output force.

These linear motors are ideal for any application requiring high levels of positioning resolution and accuracy. Tracks are stackable for any travel length. The BLMF linear motors are also for cleanroom use as they produce no particulates.

The BLMF can be driven using standard Aerotech brushless amplifiers and controllers to provide a complete, integrated system.

Integration - Test as systemTesting, integration, and documentation of a group of components as a complete system that will be used together (ex: drive, controller, and stage). This includes parameter file generation, system tuning, and documentation of the system configuration.

-TAC

Integration - Test as components Testing and integration of individual items as discrete components that ship together. This is typically used for spare parts, replacement parts, or items that will not be used together. These components may or may not be part of a larger system.
